I must have ran across a bad can of paint cause the fairing paint is messed up. I painted that with spray paint from Harley.
The color is Impact Blue without a clear, its like a SEMI GLOSS BLUE and BLACK

In about a year or so you will regret using a rattlecan paint job...
Looks nice NOW though.

looks cool. i guess i've had my matte finish rattle can paint job for about a year of hard use and it still looks good(or as good as it did, since it is a dull finish anyway). only place i've had any problems is a little bit of chipping around a couple bolt holes. and i think the fact that i have them on and off alot, and there are no washers between the bolt head and the paint is really the only reason for that.

Flat paint is VERY different from gloss/semigloss when it comes to exposure and time.
